The priceless moment was reciprocated by the five-time Ballon d’Or winner who took the opportunity to sign two shirts for the lad.

Messi then elected to give the boy some memorable moments by posing for pictures with him. Surely one for the gallery.

This is not the first time the Barcelona captain has shown such a gesture to a fan, having countlessly gone out of his way to prove his love for fans.
